the doors and windows and sleep several in one

from the confined air were it not that Turkish
carpenters never have heard of the plumb-line
and so windows and doors oil have crevices
which supply ventilation. The tales Of Oriental

only great display is in the amount of rugs and

A richly dressed lady entered a St Anthony
Hill car the other day. and shortly after taking
her seat began to grow red in the face. Finally
she leaned toward another lady near her and
whispered: II started out shopping, and not
thinking would need any money, put my pock-

How Gordon Was Betrayed.

The general court-martial on Bim-
bashi -Effendi Benhassawy,
who commanded the 5th regiment
(Egyptians) at Khartoum, is now
fixed, says Cairo correspondent OF
the London Daily NeUs. The Egyptian
military authorities refuse to give any
information on the subject-in imita-
ton, it would seem, of the Turkish
authorities, who always frantically
endeavor to conceal political or mill
tary news, and who always fail in
their efforts to do so. The whole al
fair of Bimbashi Benhassawy and his
court-martial is an open secret, and is
simply this:
For some months dribblets of the
9th regiment, escaped from Khartoum,
have been arriving at Cairo from the
Soudan, and they have at present
reached the number of $50 privates,
officers, and non-commissioned OIL
GERS 1t will be remembered that
this was the regiment that was sup
| posed to be on guard at the western
| (Messalia) and southwestern gate"
| or entrance to Khartoum. Gradually
/ evidence has been collected which, it
is alleged, will prove that Bimbashi
Benhassawy, in collision with Fai1g
Pacha, who held the position of gen.
eral, corresponded with the mahdi,
and wrote a letter to him to the effect
/ that unless he attacked by Monday he
would be too late, as the ''English
| were close at hand" The letter OF
course cannot be produced, but il
will he sworn to that it was written
! 1t will be proved, it is also alleged
that on the night that Khartoum was
taken, the 5th regiment, who had
charge of the southwest and south en-
frances, never fired a shot, and in re
turn they escaped the massacre, al
though they were kept prisoners, anC
are now gradually escaping. Tht
whole affair came to notieethus: Mr.
Palmer, director-general ''de la Com
patabilite d. Etat," directed, with thu
appreciation of the sirdar Command
er-in-chief of the Egyptian army, M
Valiant, director-generd OF tn
finance department of the Soudan, t.
pay these escaped officers and soldier
of the 5th regiment their arrears O
pay-amounting to some conslderabl
sum. But M. Valiant, who had hi
eye pretty we'll on the whole affair
and who is without doubt one of tn
best men in the government service
replied: What! i pay the murder
ers of Gordon! Never! l distinctl.
refuse to put my seal to any docu
ment of the sort" (For an order fo
payment had been brought to him t.

English wish to pay these men yo

little difference led up to the presen

be called .sales ladies'" and are even
